The February 8, 2026 NBA trade deadline has passed, leaving several California-based contenders at a pivotal moment as they reassess their rosters and postseason prospects.
Front offices across the state are now weighing next steps after the flurry of deals—or lack thereof—closed without the possibility of further trades this season. Coaches and players are expected to shift focus to internal development and potential buyout-market additions as they prepare for the final stretch of the regular season.
With the playoff race tightening, each franchise must determine whether its current lineup is strong enough to contend or if offseason moves will be required to remain competitive in the Western Conference.
